Suga, you live in Freiburg? I have played there a couple of times. One of my favorite places. Great university.

No. But I hope I am wrong. And the only way I will be wrong is due to stuff that Eli Baraty is doing. There is a thriving new club in my city now, with great playing conditions and hordes of very young children getting trained by former Chinese provincial level coaches, former US national...

Definitely possible. I am hoping for some epic battles in any case.

I'm personally more cocerned with ITTFs other failings and there are a lot of them. If rubber passes tecnical rules rules the fact that a Chinese or German pro can have it and I can't isn't a problem. Seeing a good video feed. Having places to play. Those things matter more. But the larger...

Once I tried them and liked them (actually the previous version but almost the same), I bought about four pair over the next couple of years. I have two unused pairs in my closet, so I am set for awhile. They are very similar to the original Stiga Instinct shoe. I like those too.

Soccer shoes have the same bottom but they feel entirely different. They are much less flexible, especially in the front, so you can't really dig your toes into the floor. Really they are designed for something different. It is true, though, TT shoes are over priced by not all of them. These...

Eight years is a long time, so I must be more strung out than most people. I'll be on the street soon holding a cup and a sign so I can maintain my T05 supply. T05 gives me just a slightly better margin for error than MX-P. And it is for sale at one of the local clubs, meaning I could buy...

And having written that recently I still went ahead and bought two sheets of T05 today.

It would not surprise me in the least if in the next three years one or more of the players they sent to this tournament is in the top five in the world. (It also wouldn't surprise me if they weren't). I just think it is a bit hard to tell from one or even two tournaments.

One here. http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=77452&title=fsmoonbeam-for-collectorsold-tagwithout-serial

I believe there is a history that more than one Chinese world champion did not impress anyone in their FIRST taste of high level European competition. I would never bet against their next crop being just as good in the fullness of time. It would be good for the sport if they werent, but I just...

But you would most certainly feel it.

Are players paid to play in the corporate league in Japan?

Yes. Calderano is a case in point also, because Brazil actually has professional leagues, at least around Sao Paolo, and he could probably make a living and compete regularly without living in Europe (even though he does live and play in Europe). The overwhelming challenge to starting a...

Here is one very important thing that may help. All players have a cross-over point, even penholders. (The only exception would be if some player hit every single ball with their forehand. I assume that is not happening with this guy). However, the cross-over point is not always in the...

5 out of 5 rating for Evolution MX-P I think most of what needs to be said has already been written below by other people, and I agree with it. I should add, though, that it is pretty easy to make a switch to this rubber from T05. Let's say 4-5 sessions of adjustment, and then you can pretty...

I am fairly knowledgeable as I am friends (in a few cases close friends) with a handful of the top US players over the last 20 years or so (the ones who live or lived in Houston). That list would include three former US champions, along with three other former USA national team members. I am...

I think that most people would say that MX-P overall is slightly harder than T05.

FX-P is much softer.
